Why Organic?
The labeling on certified organic foods tells you that the food was grown and produced in accordance with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards. These standards prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, genetically modified organisms or ingredients GMO's, irradiation, and the use of "sewage sledge" as fertilizer. Organic livestock eat organic feed and are not given antibiotics or hormones, and have access to pasture. Organic products are grown in healthier soils, which contain higher levels of nutrients. Organic farmers are working in harmony with nature, and are actively nurturing land for our benefit, as well as that of our children's children.Consuming organic food:
- Shows respect for our land (organic farming does not deplete valuable nutrients from the soil)
- Shows respect for our water supply (organic farming practices reduce the toxic run-off into our water supply)
- Means the food has more nutritional value, according to research done by nutritionist Virginia Worthington, and reported in the article Organic Farming, Food Quality and Human Health.
- Means consuming far fewer pesticide residues than "conventional" foods grown using toxic pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilizers which can contribute to health problems. These were the findings of a 2002 study led by the Consumer Union of Consumer Reports.
- Tastes better! Organics foods are often locally produced, thus they travel less distance to reach the consumer and are generally fresher.
